ecember, with all of its gray and rainy weather – and holiday parties – has arrived. The Thanksgiving turkey is reduced to leftovers and the next major holiday is fast approaching. What is to be done to keep those winter pounds from piling up? Clearly, members need a solu- tion that allows them to eat, drink and be merry, and still fit our clothes.
